- Ostracon, evenly rectangular. Sketch on one side in red and black. On a baseline stands a bed with only two legs visible. It is designed as the god Bes. On it sits a woman, wearing a pleated garment and a long, black wig. Her right arm is stretched backwards, towards the raised end of the bed. Between this end and the woman lies a child. To the left of the bed stands a naked person with shaved head. With the right hand swings this person a fan above the head of the seated woman. The left arm of the standing person is hanging along the side of the body. On the right stands a left facing woman who is naked, except for a long black wig decorated with a headband. Both her hands are reaching for the seated woman. Even further to the right stands a monkey on its hind legs. It is holding an object in its paws. Underneath the bed stands a vessel with an ointment cone in it.
